So your boss has multiple estates encompassing hundreds or thousands of acres throughout the world. Toys with toys to play with the toys. Fine art, treasured jewelry, and the finest handcrafted furnishings adorn the lavish estates. More money than they know what to do with! To most outside of the niche private staffing culture, it might seem like a "kid in a candy store" dream come true.

Many years ago, when I was starting out with a new employer and reviewing an upcoming renovation project with my principal, he said something nonchalantly. "Treat my home as though it were yours." It took a minute for it to sink in. This simple phrase would hold so much value and provide a solid moral compass for which to conduct myself as their Estate Manager for years to come. Why would he want me to treat his hard-earned and valuable assets as though they were my own? What did he mean?

You might think that if the keys of a vast Estate were turned over to you that you would enjoy them to the fullest. "King for a day". But consider how you treat your own property for a moment, and it becomes clear that you wouldn't necessarily treat it with reckless abandon. You would probably like to be able to enjoy it for years to come, even if you had the means to easily replace it. Maintaining and cultivating those precious assets so they would potentially grow in monetary and sentimental value for you and your family. This is the preferred recipe for success for those of vast means and those of less means. Successful, busy, and high-net-worth individuals are not much different from the other 99%. That's why employing professional Estate Managers for the exclusive 1% makes them so much more savvy in their endeavors. Time is the most perishable and irreplaceable commodity we struggle to tame. The keen and adept Estate Manager allows their principles to maximize the quality of the limited time they have available.
